[PrvtValentine]

what is the benefit from having those arm sleeves just wonderin?

[mitchelltom32]

@PrvtValentine They are more for support dont really add much to the lift. They also keep the elbow joint warm less pain while training I train outdoors all year around. They are made by Inzer.

[fivefingerbp98]

impressive lift bro. i really think u have 455 fresh dude.

[mitchelltom32]

@fivefingerbp98 thanks bro I m going to max aqain in a couple of months gotta work on my lockout im going for 460

[fivefingerbp98]

@mitchelltom32 i dont understand how i rep more than you but u max alot more than i do. lol im stuck at 430 dude. idk if its mental or what.

[mitchelltom32]

@fivefingerbp98 I dont normally do alot of rep work once a month the rest of the time I keep the reps around 3-5 the lower the reps the more strength you will build. The slingshot has really helped me too I always keep things mixed up board presses one week slingshot the next then somthing else. I usually dont go to failure on my sets unless its my last one for the day especially when heavy training. Dude just hang in there im sure you will get more in time.

[fivefingerbp98]

@mitchelltom32 thanks man. and i always train in higher sets so thats probably why too. usually 8-12 reps.

[Nanoprobedd]

@fivefingerbp98

The answer this question is simple. He gets way more work out of even doing 10 reps than you get from doing 19, because of form. If you slow down your sets without bouncing the weights off your chest, you'll be lifting way more in no time and gaining much more from your workouts.

[bambam2116]

[iwrote]

Yea? well...F**k you...show off. Im over here working my ass off to bench 225 as much as I can and I can only do it no more than 5 times and this guy hits 315 12 times...lol

[mitchelltom32]

@iwrote LOL I remember when I could only bench 225x5 along time ago...

[iwrote]

@mitchelltom32 How long have you been working out?

[mitchelltom32]

@iwrote about 15 years

[iwrote]

@mitchelltom32 Oh wow.Ive only been doing it for like 4 years and right now I can do like 255X10

[tunney101]

@915olivares11 you likey engish?

[mitchelltom32]

@915olivares11 yep chest , triceps, and shoulders

[jtoddjb]

very impressive , nice no nonsense setup you have there

[mitchelltom32]

@jtoddjb thanks buddy

[secutorclaudius]

looks like your grip is a bit wider than mine. does that help u? does it put more stress on the delts?

[mitchelltom32]

@secutorclaudius the wide grip works for me I have long arms. It works the outer part of my chest more. the wide grip took a while to get used too when my shoulders hurt I bench with a closer grip.

[MrJervilla]

@mitchelltom32 "but i need a gym membership to train! " you: "shut up bitch!" lol

[demathastags13]

hey he touched it!!! good lift though!!!

[mitchelltom32]

@demathastags13 thanks yeah he touched it lol my spotter was looking out for me he normally just helps me enough to finish the movement.

[bustagh0st]

@mitchelltom32 I'd pretty much say you can do 455, spotter barely touched it and on top performance you could easily do that.

[srx700max]

AWESOME good lift i am right there with you well i have got 445 still trying to get my 455 ,EXCELLENT keep up the hard work !!!!!!

[mitchelltom32]

@srx700max thanks! alot of hard work getting this far

[mad1966dog]

Fucking hard core...great stuff

[mitchelltom32]

@mad1966dog thanks dude

[815Rider]

Great power.

[fivefingerbp98]

dude u hit that 455. he touched it with one finger. im sure that wouldnt do a whole lot. haha. i think u could get 460x1 on a good day if u did that. and 315x15

[mitchelltom32]

@fivefingerbp98 thanks sometimes you just need a tap to finish out a movement I feel like I got most of it

[krazziejrboi]

The last rep was a killer good job.

[mitchelltom32]

@krazziejrboi thanks thats the most i have ever tried 

[j0540212]
